In this paper we investigate the properties of the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test for autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) and generalized ARCH (GARCH) in the presence of additive outliers (AO's). We show analytically that both the asymptotic size and power are adversely affected...

The estimation for time series models with heavy-tailed innovations has been widely discussed in the literature, while the corresponding goodness-of-fit tests have attracted less attention. This is mainly because the commonly used autocorrelation function in constructing goodness-of-fit tests...

The article is focused on examining GARCH models with different lags on variety of financial time series. The first part describes an eduction of the best forecasting ability model with the help of out-of-sample criterion. The second section portrays series of tests that were performed in...

This paper proposes a test for common conditionally heteroskedastic (CH) features in asset returns. Following Engle and Kozicki (1993), the common CH features property is expressed in terms of testable overidentifying moment restrictions. However, as we show, these moment conditions have a...
